Moving 6U State to February 1st is...............shorter.

You are invited! Sunday February 15th.

The 6U season isn't any shorter than its always been.

There are a lot of tournaments that will offer 6U well after this tournament!

If it was shorter we would not allow 6U to wrestle at the State Folkstyle Tournament as 8U

Statement in Support of a Shorter Youth Wrestling Season (Ages 6 & Under)

The goal of youth sports is to foster a lifelong love of physical activity and provide a foundation for athletic development, not to produce immediate champions. For our youngest athletes, ages 6 and under, a shorter, developmentally appropriate wrestling season is not only sufficient but actually more advantageous than a longer season focused on high-volume, repetitive training.

We strongly advocate for aligning our practices with the principles outlined in both the USA Wrestling Athlete Development Model (ADM) and the USOPC American Development Model (ADM), which clearly indicate that more is not better at this age.

1. Focus on Physical Literacy and Fun (USA Wrestling ADM)
The USA Wrestling ADM defines the early years (typically 5 to 8) as the Discover, Learn & Play stage, where the primary focus is on FUN, games, and activities.

Developmental Priority: The emphasis is on building Physical Literacy—the ability to understand and perform basic physical skills. This is achieved through a wide range of movements like tumbling, running, jumping, balancing, and fundamental movement skills (FMS).

Wrestling-Specific Training: For ages 6 and under, the ADM recommends a minimal, low-intensity approach:

Practice Frequency: 2-3 practices per week, lasting only 45-60 minutes.

Activity Focus: Free Play > Technique—fun, games, and tumbling are prioritized over structured technique drilling.

Competition: A limited schedule of approximately 10-25 matches per year is recommended to keep the focus on learning and enjoyment, not intense competition.

The Flaw of a Long Season: A prolonged season with high practice volume forces coaches to prioritize sport-specific repetition over the necessary broad-based motor skill development. This goes against the ADM's core philosophy of developing the athlete first and the wrestler second.

2. Avoiding the Risks of Early Specialization (USOPC ADM Principles)
The USOPC ADM strongly discourages early specialization—intense, year-round training in a single sport—for children before late adolescence. A long youth wrestling season essentially forces this specialization upon the youngest participants, which carries significant risks:

Increased Risk of Injury: Repetitive movement patterns common in long, single-sport seasons lead to a higher incidence of overuse injuries as young bodies, which are still growing and developing, are repeatedly stressed. A shorter season allows for essential rest and recovery.

Risk of Burnout and Attrition: The pressure, emotional drain, and lack of variety that come with a demanding, lengthy season often result in psychological burnout and a loss of motivation. Forcing a long season on a 6-year-old is a primary driver of youth sport dropout, ultimately shrinking the talent pool rather than expanding it.

Stunted Athletic Development: Elite athletes, including Olympians, overwhelmingly report being multi-sport athletes during their developmental years. A shorter season for wrestling encourages children to participate in other sports and activities, which develops a broader athletic foundation (agility, balance, coordination, and speed) that transfers directly into better wrestling skills later in life.

3. Conclusion: Prioritize Long-Term Success Over Short-Term Gains
A shorter, focused season for our 6-and-under wrestlers ensures the sport remains fun, positive, and developmentally appropriate.

By limiting the season length, we:

* Follow ADM Guidelines: Honor the prescribed low-volume, play-focused approach.

* Prevent Burnout: Keep children psychologically fresh and excited for the next season.

* Promote Multi-Sport Participation: Encourage the development of comprehensive physical literacy.

* Support Long-Term Retention: Increase the likelihood that these young athletes will stay with wrestling for years to come.

A long season for a 6-year-old is a pursuit of short-term, fleeting advantage at the expense of long-term athletic potential and, most importantly, the child's enjoyment and overall well-being. We must resist the temptation to push more, and instead, trust the expert-driven models that affirm that at this age, less structure and more fun lead to greater success.
